Man if we are talking about wants... I really want to get out of my apartment and into a house with a decent sized garage to park my truck jetter and backhoe. But I rather see my mothers house paid off, and all her bills paid off so she can start from scratch again.

come on Trent, you wouldn't have to say it is a juggler. you could say it is a truck with unique abilities!
i just called on them. they want $299,000 for the base model. $500,000 for a fully decked out one with all the bells....
maybe at the show i can get a "deal"

I want a treatment plant that I can make money off of my competitors, that way any tank in the area I'm making money on if I pump it or not! Then I compost the solids and sell them for fertilizer!

It's a win/win......for me! I just don't have the 5 million bucks or so it would take to put it together. Honestly I'm not sure if the payoff would come soon enough to make the project feasable anyhow.

Treatment plant bills are no fun. I hope the plants around here keep the rates low. Trent, I'd build the plant and sell the trucks that a dream. There are 2007 Jugglers new rotting away from the looks of it. Not only would it have to process the waste it would have to print money.

Check out this months Pumper Mag. There's a story on a guy that has done it. He's done it fairly inexpensively with dewatering boxes. The property is the killer. Trying to get the DEQ to let me put the thing on a piece of farm land would be a trick. I don't want to put it in town. I'd have everyone bitching about the "stink" weather it stunk or not. It's too bad too, there is a nice chunk of land that would house it nicely adjacent to my office lot. The reason it's vaccant......the good folks of the city bitched about the "stink and the dust" of the Scott's fertilizer plant that was there. Several more jobs lost in a dying small town in Oregon.

I had an Alar machine to dewater grease. It sounded great untill no one want to buy the grease. The smell from the a location would have been bad. Never got the thing going. Sold the Machine to a custmer, worked out ok in the end. A Surry store and a diagester would be great too. A pumper in the area has one. I'm going to get out of car wash pit because there is too much dewatering, testing, EPA, landfill rates. The car wash owner are going to have to pay though the nose to get the pits cleaned out. 80 dollars a ton to dispose of the grit and the water has to go to the treatment plant. Trent do you land spread? New grease trap laws in the area are going to help make more work. My morning coffee eggs are going to cost more though.

No we don't land apply. We get too much rain and there is very little suitable ground for it. It can be done but it is not a cost effective way to dispose of septage. I think if I had the land already I' might give it a try but since I don't, it's not worth it.

In our area they are (were) busy using farm ground for a one time crop of houses. It's really sad because we have some of the most fertile ground in the nation.
